What to Watch Wednesday

Go for a wild ride with “Amy,” Asif Kapadia’s newly anointed Oscar winner about Amy Winehouse. Visit space with the astronaut Scott J. Kelly. Or take a “Gaycation” with Ellen Page.

What’s Streaming

AMY (2015) on iTunes. What price fame? Asif Kapadia’s Oscar winner for best documentary feature captures the dazzling rise and shattering downfall of the Grammy Award-winning, drug-addled singer Amy Winehouse (who died of alcohol poisoning in 2011, at 27). The home videos, concert footage, publicity interviews and recording sessions coalesce into “an intensely intimate experience, which is delightful as you’re getting to know her early on, when she’s all shy, charming smiles and having her first successes,” Manohla Dargis wrote in The New York Times. She added, “The documentary becomes progressively more difficult to watch as Ms. Winehouse falls apart and as its intimacy, which earlier felt nice and cozily warm, starts to feel uncomfortably intrusive.” (Image: Ms. Winehouse.)

What’s on TV

A YEAR IN SPACE8 p.m. on PBS. On Tuesday afternoon Scott J. Kelly, the commander of the International Space Station, climbed into a Russian Soyuz capsule after 340 consecutive days in space — a record for a NASA astronaut. This special chronicles Mr. Kelly’s mission. (Image: Mr. Kelly.)

THE REAL O’NEALS8:30 p.m. on ABC. An Irish Catholic family in Chicago is turned on its head when the parents (Martha Plimpton and Jay R. Ferguson) announce they’re divorcing, their 16-year-old son (Noah Galvin) says he’s gay — and suddenly the entire clan is revealing one secret or another. “ ‘The Real O’Neals’ wants desperately to be the brash new sitcom that talks forthrightly about subjects that had been taboo,” Neil Genzlinger wrote in The Times. “And a decade or two ago it might have been. Now, though, it’s just the guest who arrives late to the party, blundering in loudly and clumsily.”

EXTRA VIRGIN AMERICANA9 p.m. on Cooking. Debi Mazar of “Younger,” her husband, Gabriele Corcos, and their two daughters hightail it out of Brooklyn on a cross-country food-sampling trip. First stop: the Grand Canyon.

HAP AND LEONARD10 p.m. on Sundance. Hap Collins (James Purefoy), a Texas boy with a seductive ex-wife (Christina Hendricks), and Leonard Pine (Michael Kenneth Williams), a hot-headed gay Vietnam vet, try to get rich quick — and end up in bloody hell — in this comic noir based on Joe Lansdale’s novels.

SUITS10 p.m. on USA. As his day of reckoning draws nigh Mike makes the only play he has left.

GAYCATION10 p.m. on Viceland. Vice Media’s new cable channel keeps rolling out new series, like this one in which Ellen Page and her friend Ian Daniel explore L.G.B.T. cultures around the globe. Their journey begins in Japan, where they get “friendship married” at a Buddhist temple, work at a rent-a-friend agency and party in what’s billed as the world’s smallest gay bar. In “Balls Deep,” at 11, Thomas Morton travels to Arkansas to see how a Pentecostal tent revival stacks up against secular temptations.
